2: Introduction
Protocol Support
The xPico device server uses the Internet Protocol (IP) for network communications. It uses the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) to assure that no data is lost or duplicated, and that everything sent to the connection arrives correctly at the target. Supported protocols include: ARP, TCP/IP, UDP/IP, BOOTP, ICMP, Telnet, TFTP, AutoIP, DHCP, HTTP, and SNMP for network communications and management. TCP/IP, UDP/IP, and Telnet for connections to the serial port. TFTP for firmware and web page updates. IP for addressing, routing, and data block handling over the network. User Datagram Protocol (UDP) for typical datagram applications in which devices interact with other devices without maintaining a point-to-point connection.
Configuration Methods
For the unit to operate correctly on a network, it must have a unique IP address on the network. There are three basic methods for logging into the device server to assign an IP address and configure the unit: DeviceInstaller: Assign an IP address and view the current xPico configuration using a Graphical User Interface (GUI) on a PC attached to a network. (See 3 Using DeviceInstaller.) Web-Manager: Through a web interface, configure the xPico and its settings using the xPicos Web-Manager. (See 4 Configuration Using Web Manager Serial & Telnet Ports: There are two approaches to accessing Serial Mode. Make a Telnet connection to the network port (9999) or connect a terminal (or a PC running a terminal emulation program) to the units serial port. (See 5 Configuration via Telnet or Serial Port (Setup Mode) )
Addresses and Port Numbers

Hardware Address
The hardware address is also referred to as the Ethernet address or the MAC address. The first three bytes of the Ethernet address identify the unit as a Lantronix product. The fourth, fifth, and sixth bytes are unique numbers assigned to each unit.
Example: 00-80-A3-14-01-18
Note: Make note of the MAC address. It is needed to locate the xPico using DeviceInstaller.
xPico User Guide

2: Introduction
IP Address
Every device connected to an IP network must have a unique IP address. This address is used to reference the specific unit. The xPico is automatically assigned an IP address on DHCP-enabled networks, as it is DHCP-enabled by default.
Port Numbers
Every TCP connection and every UDP datagram is defined by a destination IP address and a port number. For example, a Telnet application commonly uses port number 23. A port number is similar to an extension on a phone system. The unit's serial channel (port) can be associated with a specific TCP/UDP port number. Port number 9999 is reserved for access to the unit's Setup (configuration) Mode window. Ports 0-1024 are reserved as well. For more information on reserved port numbers, see to Table 7-4. Reserved Port Numbers on page 42.
Product Information Label

The product information label on the unit contains the following information about the specific unit: Part Number Revision Manufacturing Date Code Product Model Country of Origin Lantronix Datamatrix Barcode MAC Address

5. Configuration via Telnet or Serial Port (Setup Mode)

You must configure the unit so that it can communicate on a network with your serial device. As an alternative to using a web browser, as described in the previous chapter, you can use the following procedures remotely or locally: Use a Telnet connection to configure the unit over the network. Use a terminal or terminal emulation program to access the serial port locally. The series of prompts at which you enter configuration settings is called Setup Mode. Note: Detailed information about other setup methods is available from your Lantronix Sales Associate. The units configuration is stored in nonvolatile memory and is retained without power. You can change the configuration at any time. The unit performs a reset after the configuration has been changed and stored. This chapter tells you how to access Setup Mode and the general procedure for using it. To complete the configuration, continue with 6 Setup Mode: Server Configuration, 7 Setup Mode: Channel Configuration, and 8 Setup Mode: Advanced Settings. Note: The menus in the configuration chapters show a typical device. Your device may have different configuration options.
Accessing Setup Mode

Telnet Connection
To configure the unit over the network, establish a Telnet connection to port 9999. Note: You can also use DeviceInstaller to access Telnet. Select the device from the main window list, and click the Telnet Configuration tab. Skip steps 1 and 2.

6: Setup Mode: Server Configuration
Set Gateway IP Address

The gateway address, or router, allows communication to other LAN segments. The gateway address should be the IP address of the router connected to the same LAN segment as the unit. The gateway address must be within the local network. The default is N (No), meaning the gateway address has not been set. To set the gateway address, type Y and enter the address.
Set Gateway IP Address (N) ? Y Gateway IP addr ( 0) ( 0) ( 0) ( 0)_
Netmask: Number of Bits for Host Part

A netmask defines the number of bits taken from the IP address that are assigned for the host part.
Netmask: Number of Bits for Host Part (0=default) (0) _
Note: Class A: 24 bits; Class B: 16 bits; Class C: 8 bits The unit prompts for the number of host bits to be entered, then calculates the netmask, which appears in standard decimal-dot notation (for example, 255.255.255.0) when the saved parameters display.

Set DNS Server IP Address

The DNS server allows the name of a remote machine to be resolved automatically. The default is N (No), indicating the DNS server address has not been set. To set the DNS server address, type Y. At the prompt, enter the DNS server address. If the device is DHCP enabled, the DHCP server provides the DNS server IP address, which will override this configured value. Note: This setting is applicable only in Manual Connection mode.
Set DNS Server IP addr <N> ?
Change Telnet/Web-Manager Password

Setting the Telnet/Web-Manager password prevents unauthorized access to the setup menu through a Telnet connection to port 9999 or through web pages. The password must have 4 characters.
Change Telnet/Web-Manager password (N) ? _
xPico User Guide

6: Setup Mode: Server Configuration
An enhanced password setting (for Telnet access only) of 16 characters is available under Security Settings (Option 6) on page 56. Note: You do not need a password to access the Setup Mode window by a serial connection.
DHCP Name
If a DHCP server has automatically assigned the IP address and network settings, you can discover the unit by using the DeviceInstaller network search feature. There are three methods for assigning DHCP names to the unit. Default DHCP Name: If you do not change the DHCP name, and you are using an IP of 0.0.0.0, then the DHCP name defaults to CXXXXXX (XXXXXX is the last 6 digits of the MAC address shown on the label on the bottom/side of the unit). For example, if the MAC address is 00-20-4A-12-34-56, then the default DHCP name is C123456. Custom DHCP Name: You can create your own DHCP name. If you are using an IP address of 0.0.0.0, then the last option in Server configuration is Change DHCP device name. This option allows you to change the DHCP name to an alphanumeric name (LTX in our example).
Change DHCP device name (not set) ? (N) Y Enter new DHCP device name : LTX
Numeric DHCP Name: You can change the DHCP name by specifying the last octet of the IP address. When you use this method, the DHCP name is LTXYY where YY is what you chose for the last octet of the IP address. If the IP address you specify is 0.0.0.12, then the DHCP name is LTX12. This method only works with 2 digit numbers (01-99).

Attempts to connect when any character is received from the serial port. Attempts to connect when the Modem Control In input changes from not asserted to asserted. Attempts to connect when it receives a specific start character from the serial port. The default start character is carriage return.
xPico User Guide
44
Manual Connection
Attempts to connect when directed by a command string received from the serial port. The first character of the command string must be a C (ASCII 0x43), and the last character must be either a carriage return (ASCII 0x0D) or a line feed (0x0A). No blanks or space characters may be in the command string. Between the first and last command string characters must be a full or partial destination IP address and may be a destination port number. The IP address must be in standard decimal-dot notation and may be a partial address, representing the least significant 1, 2, or 3 bytes of the remote IP address. The period is required between each pair of IP address numbers. If present, the port number must follow the IP address, must be presented as a decimal number in the range 1-65535, and must be preceded by a forward slash (ASCII 0x2F). The slash separates the IP address and the port number. If you omit the port number from a command string, the internally stored remote port number starts a connection. If a partial IP address is presented in a command string, it is interpreted to be the least significant bytes of the IP address and uses the internally stored remote IP address to provide the most significant bytes of the IP address. If the IP address entered is 0.0.0.0/0, the device server enters Monitor Mode. For example, if the remote IP address already configured in the unit is 129.1.2.3, then an example command string would be C3/7. (This would connect to 129.1.2.3 and port 7.) You may also use a different ending for the connection string. For example, C50.1/23 would connect you to 129.1.50.1 and port 23. If an IP address does not follow the first command string character (which is "C"), the subsequent character string is interpreted as the host name and domain to be used in DNS lookup. This character string can include a destination port number as well. The port number can be preceded by either a forward slash (/) or a colon ( : ).

Once it connects, the unit stops trying to connect to any others. If this connection fails, the unit continues to scroll through the table until it is able to connect to another IP in the hostlist. Hostlist supports a minimum of 1 and a maximum of 12 entries. Each entry contains the IP address and the port number. The hostlist is disabled for Manual and Modem Modes. The unit does not accept a data connection from a remote device when the hostlist option is enabled. Figure 7-2. Hostlist Option

d) Datagram Type
Directed UDP When selecting this option, you are prompted for the Datagram type. Enter 01 for directed or broadcast UDP. Datagrams of type 01 can be sent as a broadcast by enabling the Send as Broadcast option. The default is not to broadcast. When the UDP option is in effect, the unit never attempts to initiate a TCP connection because it uses UDP datagrams to send and receive data.
e) Modem Mode
In Modem (Emulation) Mode, the unit presents a modem interface to the attached serial device. It accepts AT-style modem commands and handles the modem signals correctly. Normally, there is a modem connected to a local PC and a modem connected to a remote machine. A user must dial from the local PC to the remote machine, accumulating phone charges for each connection. Modem Mode allows you to replace modems with xPicos, and to use an Ethernet connection instead of a phone call. By not having to change communications applications, you avoid potentially expensive phone calls. To select Modem Mode, set the Connect Mode to C6 (no echo), D6 (echo with full verbose), D7 (echo with numeric response), CF (modem responses only, numeric response), or CE (modem responses only, full verbose). Note: If the unit is in Modem Mode, and the serial port is idle, the unit can still accept network TCP connections to the serial port if Connect Mode is set to C6 (no echo), D6 (echo with full verbose), D7 (echo with numeric response, CF (modem responses only, numeric response), or CE (modem responses only, full verbose).
Without Echo In Modem Mode, echo refers to the echo of all of the characters entered in command mode; it does not mean to echo data that is transferred. Quiet Mode (without echo) refers to the modem not sending an answer to the commands received (or displaying what was typed). Full Verbose: The unit echoes modem commands and responds to a command with a message string shown in the table below. Numeric Response: The unit echoes modem commands and responds to a command with a numeric response. Full Verbose: The unit does not echo modem commands and responds to a command with a message string shown in the table below. Numeric Response: The unit does not echo modem commands and responds to a command with a numeric response.

Received commands must begin with the two-character sequence AT and be terminated with a carriage return character. The unit ignores any character sequence received not starting with AT, and only recognizes and processes single AT-style commands. The unit treats compound AT commands as unrecognized commands. If the Full Verbose option is in effect, the unit responds to an unrecognized command string that is otherwise formatted correctly (begins with AT and ends with carriage return) with the "OK" message and takes no further action. If the Numeric Response option is in effect, the unit responds to an unrecognized command string that is otherwise formatted correctly with the "OK" message and takes no further action. When an active connection is in effect, the unit transfers data and does not process commands received from the serial interface. When a connection is terminated or lost, the unit reverts to command mode. When an active connection is in effect, the unit terminates the connection if it receives the following sequence from the attached serial device: No serial data is received for one second. The character sequence +++ is received, with no more than one second between each two characters. No serial data is received for one second after the last + character. At this time, the unit responds affirmatively per the selected echo/response mode. The character string ATH is received, terminated with a carriage return. The unit responds affirmatively according to the selected echo/response mode and drops the network connection. The serial interface reverts to accepting command strings. If this sequence is not followed, the unit remains in data transfer mode.

(2) A password is required for a connection to the serial port from the network. (3) The TCP connection closes even if the remote site does not acknowledge the disconnection. (4) When there is a network connection to or from the serial port, the state LED turns off instead of blinking. (5) When Ctrl+D or Hex 04 is detected, the connection is dropped. Both Telnet Com Port Cntrl and Disconnect with EOT must be enabled for Disconnect with EOT to function properly. Ctrl+D is only detected going from the serial port to the network. (6) When Modem Control In transitions from a high state to a low state, the network connection to or from the serial port drops.

Pack Control
The packing algorithms define how and when packets are sent to the network. The standard algorithm is optimized for applications in which the unit is used in a local environment, allowing for very small delays for single characters, while keeping the packet count low. The alternate packing algorithm minimizes the packet count on the network and is especially useful in applications in a routed Wide Area Network (WAN). Adjusting parameters in this mode can economize the network data stream.
xPico User Guide

Packing Interval
Packing Interval defines how long the unit should wait before sending accumulated characters. This wait period is between successive network segments containing data. For alternate packing, the default interval is 12 ms.
Trailing Characters
In some applications, CRC, Checksum, or other trailing characters follow the end-ofsequence character; this option helps to adapt frame transmission to the frame boundary.
Send Characters
If 2-Byte Send Character Sequence is enabled, the unit interprets the sendchars as a 2-byte sequence; if this option is not enabled, the unit interprets them independently. If Send Immediately After Characters is not set, any characters already in the serial buffer are included in the transmission after a "transmit" condition is found. If this option is set, the unit sends immediately after recognizing the transmit condition (sendchar or timeout). Note: A transmission might occur if status information needs to be exchanged or an acknowledgment needs to be sent.
xPico User Guide
52
DisConnTime (Inactivity Timeout)

Use this parameter to set an inactivity timeout. The unit drops the TCP connection to the local port if there is no activity on the serial line before the set time expires. Enter time in the format mm:ss, where m is the number of minutes and s is the number of seconds.
DisConnTime (00:00) ?:
To disable the inactivity timeout, enter 00:00. Range is 0 (disabled) to 5999 seconds (99 minutes, 59 seconds). Default is 0.
Send Characters
Enter up to two characters in hexadecimal representation in sendchar.
SendChar 1 ( 0) ? _ SendChar 2 ( 0) ? _
If the unit receives a character on the serial line that matches one of these characters, it sends the character immediately, along with any awaiting characters, to the TCP connection. This action minimizes the response time for specific protocol characters on the serial line (for example, ETX, EOT). Setting the first sendchar to 00 disables the recognition of the characters. Alternatively, the unit can interpret two characters as a sequence (see Pack Control on page 51).
Telnet Terminal Type

This parameter displays only if you enabled the terminal type option in Disconnect Mode. With this option enabled, you can use the terminal name for the Telnet terminal type. Enter only one name. With terminal type option enabled, the unit also reacts to the EOR (end of record) and binary options, useful for applications like terminal emulation to IBM hosts.
Channel (Port) Password

This parameter appears only if the channel (port) password option is enabled in Disconnect Mode. With this option enabled, you can set a password on the serial port.

CPU Performance
This option allows you to increase the CPU performance required to use the higher baud rates on the serial interface (460800 bps and 921600 bps). The standard CPU performance mode supports up to 230400 bps.
CPU performance (0=Regular, 1=Low, 2=High): (0) ?
Notes: If a baud rate of 460 Kbps or 920 Kbps is set and the high performance mode is disabled, the operation of the serial channel would be out of the specified error tolerance, thereby leading to inconsistent speed settings on the two ends of the serial channel. Increasing CPU clock speed consumes more power and generates more heat. This reduces the maximum operating temperature specification. See the appropriate product brief for details.
Disable Monitor Mode at bootup

This option allows you to disable all entries into Monitor Mode during startup, except for the xxx sequence. This prevents entry using yyy, zzz, xx1, and yy1 key sequences (only during the bootup sequence). The default for Monitor Mode at bootup is N (No). (See 11 Monitor Mode.)

Enable Encryption
Rijndael is the block cipher algorithm chosen by the National Institute of Science and Technology (NIST) as the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) to be used by the US government. The xPico supports 128-, 192-, and 256-bit encryption key lengths. Note: Configuring encryption should be done through a local connection to the serial port of the xPico, or via a secured network connection. Initial configuration information, including the encryption key, is sent in clear text over the network. To configure AES encryption on the xPico:
1. When prompted to enable encryption, select Y. 2. When prompted, enter the encryption key length. The xPico supports 128-, 192-, and 256-bit encryption key lengths. 3. When prompted to change keys, select Y. 4. At the Enter Keys prompt, enter your encryption key. The encryption keys are entered in hexadecimal. The hexadecimal values are echoed as asterisks to prevent onlookers from seeing the key. Hexadecimal values are 0-9 and A-F.
For a 128-bit key length, enter 32 hexadecimal characters. For a 192-bit key length, enter 48 hexadecimal characters. For a 256-bit key length, enter 64 hexadecimal characters
5. Continue pressing Enter until you return to the Change Setup menu. 6. From the Change Setup menu, select option 9 to save and exit. Encryption only applies to the port selected for data tunneling (default 10001 for Channel 1 and 10002 for Channel 2), regardless of whether you are using TCP or UDP. Generally, one of these situations applies: Encrypted xPico-to-xPico communication. Be sure to configure both modules with the same encryption key. Third-party application to xPico-encrypted communication: xPico uses standard AES encryption protocols. To communicate successfully, products and applications on the peer side must use the same protocols and the same encryption key as the xPico.

9. GPIO Interface
Configurable Pins
The xPico has eight pins (CP1-8) that you can configure for General Purpose I/O (GPIO). Note: You can also configure the pins for serial port control lines, such as hardware control, modem control (CTS, RTS, DTR, and DCD), and diagnostic outputs to LED, using DeviceInstaller. You can use these GPIO pins to control devices such as relays, servers, lights, monitor switches, sensors, and even processes such as data transfer. You can set the functions for the eight pins independently and in any combination. The initial directions (input/output) and active levels (active low or high) at boot up can also be configured through 77FE, for example, by using DeviceInstaller. This chapter describes how the directions, active levels, and states can be dynamically controlled and probed through special port 77F0. The configurable pins default configuration is: Function: General Purpose Input Active Level: Active Low
Features
TCP and UDP can be used. The protocol supports up to 32 GPIO for future products. Function configuration can be retrieved. Input or output selection can be retrieved and controlled. Active low or high selection can be retrieved and controlled. Active or inactive selection can be retrieved and controlled. 77F0 can be disabled. Every change of state (active/inactive) requires a command over TCP or UDP, and thus is not very fast. If you use this port for data transfer, the throughput is low, usually up to 1 Kbps.

9: GPIO Interface
Control Protocol
The GPIO control protocol is a simple, proprietary protocol.
Guidelines
The GPIO control protocol is described from the PC side. Send means from PC to xPico. Response comes from xPico to PC. The protocol allows for control of up to 32 GPIOs. How many are actually available depends on the product. xPico has only eight. The parameters are four bytes long and represent GPIOs 0-31, with GPIO0 in bit 0 of the first byte (Little Endian). Parameter bits for configurable pins not configured as GPIOs are undefined for Get commands and ignored on Set commands. Every command consists of nine bytes: one command type of one byte and two parameters of four bytes each.
Command 0 1 Parameter 1 2 3 4 5 Parameter 2 6 7 8
On some commands, one or all parameters are ignored. For UDP, command type and parameters need to be in the same datagram. Responses to valid commands are always five bytes long, consisting of the returned command byte and as parameters in the current or updated values. In case of an invalid command, only one byte with value 0FFh is returned.
Command 0 1 Parameter 1 2 3 4
When sending a command (TCP and UDP), wait for the response before sending the next command.

10. Firmware Upgrades

Obtaining Firmware
You can obtain the most up-to-date firmware and release notes for the unit from the Lantronix web site (www.lantronix.com/support/downloads) or by using anonymous FTP (ftp.lantronix.com/pub).
Reloading Firmware
There are several ways to update the unit's internal operational code (*.ROM): using DeviceInstaller (the preferred way), using TFTP, or using the serial port. You can also update the unit's internal Web interface (*.COB) using TFTP or DeviceInstaller. Here are typical names for those files. Check the Lantronix web site for the latest versions and release notes.
Table 10-1. Firmware Files ROM File xpico_6800.rom COB xpico_webm_1900.cob
Please refer to the DeviceInstaller online Help for information about reloading firmware using DeviceInstaller. The other methods are discussed below.
Using TFTP: Graphical User Interface

To download new firmware from a computer: 1. Use a TFTP client to put a binary file to the unit (*.ROM to upgrade the unit's internal operational code and *.COB to upgrade its internal web interface). Note: TFTP requires the .rom (binary) version of the unit's internal operational code. 2. In the Host field, enter the IP address of the unit being upgraded. 3. In the Port field, enter 69. 4. Enter the full path of the firmware file in the Local File field. 5. In the Remote File field, enter the current internal operational code or WEB1 to WEB6 for the internal web interface.

11. Monitor Mode

Monitor Mode is a command-line interface used for diagnostic purposes. There are two ways to enter Monitor Mode: locally using the serial port or remotely using the network.
Entering Monitor Mode Using the Serial Port

To enter Monitor Mode locally: 1. Follow the same steps used for setting the serial configuration parameters (see Serial Port on page 35). 2. Instead of typing three x keys, however: 3. Type zzz (or xx1) to enter Monitor Mode with network connections. 4. Type yyy (or yy1) to enter Monitor Mode without network connections. A 0> prompt indicates that you have successfully entered Monitor Mode.
Entering Monitor Mode Using the Network Port

To enter Monitor Mode using a Telnet connection: 1. Establish a Telnet session to the configuration port (9999). The following message appears:
MAC address 0080A366000E Software version V6.8.0.0RC4 (120327) XPICO AES library version 1.8.2.1 Press Enter for Setup Mode
2. Type M (upper case).

A 0> prompt indicates that you have successfully entered Monitor Mode.
Monitor Mode Commands

The following commands are available in Monitor Mode. Many commands have an IP address as an optional parameter (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx). If you enter the IP address, the command is applied to another unit with that IP address. If you do not enter the IP address, the command is executed locally. Note: All commands must be in capital letters. Responses to some of the commands are in Intel Hex format.

Sets a memory page of configuration information on the device. Shows the unit's 6-byte MAC address. Sets the Security record without the encryption key and length parameters. The entire record must still be written, but the encryption-specific bytes do not need to be provided (they can be null since they are not overwritten). Initiates a wireless scan if the wireless interface is enabled. Reports any stations found, including BSSID, SSID, and RSSI. If SA is followed by a string, the string is used to filter SSIDs before reporting. If the BSS does not broadcast its SSID, only the BSSID and RSSI are returned. Reports the network interfaces statuses. Includes potentially negotiated parameters like speed/duplex for Ethernet or BSSID, encryption, authentication for wireless interfaces. Example: co 192.168.0.10 8 192.168.0.1 10001 192.168.1.10 with 192.168.0.10 = IP address of the xPico 8 = number of hostbits 192.168.0.1 = gateway IP address 10001 = port number of the xPico Channel 1 192.168.1.10 = IP address of the DNS Server The xPico stores the setup and performs a reset. It sends an X before the reset if the command was OK.

12. Troubleshooting
This chapter discusses how you can diagnose and fix errors quickly without having to contact a dealer or Lantronix. It helps to connect a terminal to the serial port while diagnosing an error to view summary messages that may display. When troubleshooting, always ensure that the physical connections (power cable, network cable, and serial cable) are secure. Note: Some unexplained errors might be caused by duplicate IP addresses on the network. Make sure that your unit's IP address is unique. When troubleshooting the following problems, make sure that the xPico is powered up. Confirm that you are using a good network connection.
Problems and Error Messages

Problem/Message When you issue the ARP S command in Windows, the "ARP entry addition failed: 5" message displays. When you attempt to assign an IP address to the unit by the ARP method, the "Press Enter to go into Setup Mode" error "(described below) message displays. Now when you Telnet to the device server, the connection fails. Reason Your currently logged-in user does not have the correct rights to use this command on this PC. When you Telnet to port 1 on the device server, you are only assigning a temporary IP address. When you Telnet into port 9999 and do not press Enter quickly, the device server reboots, causing it to lose the IP address. You did not press Enter quickly enough. You only have 5 seconds to press Enter before the connection is closed. Solution Have someone from your IT department log you in with sufficient rights. Telnet back to Port 1. Wait for it to fail, then Telnet to port 9999 again. Make sure you press Enter quickly.
When you Telnet to port 9999, the "Press Enter to go into Setup Mode" message displays. However, nothing happens when you press Enter, or your connection is closed.
Telnet to port 9999 again, but press Enter as soon as you see the "Press Enter to go into Setup Mode" message.
xPico User Guide

12: Troubleshooting
Problem/Message When you Telnet to port 1 to assign an IP address to the device server, the Telnet window does not respond for a long time.
Reason You may have entered the Ethernet address incorrectly with the ARP command.
Solution Confirm that the Ethernet address that you entered with the ARP command is correct. The Ethernet address may only include numbers 0-9 and letters A-F. In Windows and usually in Unix, the segments of the Ethernet address are separated by dashes. In some forms of Unix, the Ethernet address is segmented with colons. Confirm that your PC has an IP address and that it is in the same logical subnet that you are trying to assign to the device server. Make sure that the Link LED is lit. If the Link LED is not lit, then the device server is not properly plugged into the network. Double-check the parameters that you specified. Note: You cannot assign an IP address to a device server through a router.
The IP address you are trying to assign is not on your logical subnet.
The device server may not be plugged into the network properly.
When you try to assign an IP with DeviceInstaller, you get the following : "No response from device! Verify the IP, Hardware Address and Network Class. Please try again."
The cause is most likely one of the following: The hardware address you specified is incorrect. The IP address you are trying to assign is not a valid IP for your logical subnet. You did not choose the correct subnet mask.
The device server is not communicating with the serial device to which it is attached.
The most likely reason is the wrong serial settings were chosen.
The serial settings for the serial device and the device server must match. The default serial settings for the device server are RS-232, 9600 baud, 8 character bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, no flow control. Double-check everything in the problem above. Confirm that Caps Lock is not on.
When you try to enter the setup mode on the device server using the serial port, you get no response.
The issue is most likely something covered in the previous problem, or possibly, you have Caps Lock on.
xPico User Guide

12: Troubleshooting
Problem/Message You can ping the device server, but not Telnet to the device server on port 9999.
Reason There may be an IP address conflict on your network You are not Telneting to port 9999. The Telnet configuration port (9999) is disabled within the device server security settings.
Solution Turn the device server off and then issue the following commands at the DOS prompt of your computer: ARP -D X.X.X.X (X.X.X.X is the IP of the device server). PING X.X.X.X (X.X.X.X is the IP of the device server). If you get a response, then there is a duplicate IP address on the network. If you do not get a response, use the serial port to verify that Telnet is not disabled. You can check to see whether there is a socket connection to or from the device server by checking the state of CPx, if one of the CPs has been configured for Serial Channel Status LED functionality. If the state of CPx is blinking consistently, then there is a good socket connection. If the state of CPx is low, use the Connect Mode option C0 for making a connection to the device server from the network. Use Connect Mode option C1 or C5 for a connection to the network from the device server. See the full list of Connect Mode options in Connect Mode
The device server appears to be set up correctly, but you are not communicating with your device attached to the device server across the network.
If you are sure that the serial port setting is correct, then you may not be connecting to the correct socket of the device server. Another possibility is that the device server is not set up correctly to make a good socket connection to the network.
When connecting to the WebManager within the device server, the "No Connection With The Device Server" message displays.
Your computer is not able to connect to port 30718 (77FEh) on the device server.
Make sure that port 30718 (77FEh) is not blocked with any router that you are using on the network. Also, make sure that port 77FEh is not disabled within the Security settings of the device server.

Many of the units configuration procedures require assembling a series of options (represented as bits) into a complete command (represented as a byte). Convert the resulting binary value to a hexadecimal representation.
Converting Binary to Hexadecimal

Following are two simple ways to convert binary numbers to hexadecimals.
Conversion Table
Hexadecimal digits have values ranging from 0 to F, which are represented as 0-9, A (for 10), B (for 11), etc. To convert a binary value (for example, 0100 1100) to a hexadecimal representation, the upper and lower four bits are treated separately, resulting in a two-digit hexadecimal number (in this case, 4C). Use the following table to convert values from binary to hexadecimal. Decimal
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
Binary
0000 0001 0010 0011 0100 0101 0110 0111 1000 1001 1010 1011 1100 1101 1110 1111
Hex
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F
Scientific Calculator
Another simple way to convert binary to hexadecimals is to use a scientific calculator, such as the one available on Windows operating systems. For example: 1. On the Windows Start menu, click Programs AccessoriesCalculator. 2. On the View menu, select Scientific. The scientific calculator displays. 3. Select Bin (Binary), and type the number to convert.
